A backpack with integral garment hanging means is herein disclosed, comprising a large rear compartment that can neatly store clothes by means of folding hangers. To access the rear compartment, one would disconnect a pair of shoulder straps and open a zipper along both sides and upper surfaces of the backpack, thereby leaving the front cover hinged at the base. When disconnected it exposes a rounded “headstone”-shaped rear compartment having a plurality of folding garment hangers attached at the top. The hangers have a short neck and are hinged at their outward points to accommodate the small confines of the compartment. This backpack allows for the placement of several articles of clothing on folding hangers inside the backpack minimizing wrinkling. The hangers can be removed and used on a conventional closet rod. The exterior covering of the backpack is of a waterproof textile material to allow use in the rain as well.
